Thank you, again, for your kind and wise words.Brother, I wanted to express my deepest gratitude for the thoroughness of your response. Your attention to detail and the care you've taken to address my message mean the world to me. It's truly remarkable that amidst your busy schedule, you took the time to delve into my inquiry.
Your work is exemplary, and I believe it's essential to acknowledge the immense effort that goes on behind the scenes. It's disheartening to hear that some may underestimate your dedication, labeling you unfairly. However, for anyone with even a modicum of insight, it's evident that your capabilities are nothing short of extraordinary. Your proficiency extends beyond mere communication; it's evident in both your storytelling and your coding prowess.
I'd like to suggest exploring the possibilities offered by cutting-edge AI tools. These innovations have the potential to streamline your processes, alleviating some of the burdens you face and making your workload more manageable. Additionally, if you find yourself in need of substantial rendering power, there are platforms where you can access [rent] GPU resources on-demand. These services cater to various needs, including machine learning, artificial intelligence, and video rendering.
I may not possess an extensive technical background, but I'm eager to assist in any way I can. Once again, thank you for your unwavering dedication and all that you do, my friend. Wishing you a truly fantastic day!![]()
As for the depth of my answer - I was head of animation at a college for many years (until COVID struck...), so answering questions at length and in great detail is second nature to me. And, well, you asked...
As for new tools, AI included, I periodically look into them, to find out what can improve my arsenal.
Usually, I find that the most efficient thing for me to do is stay with the tools I know, as they are still on the cutting edge (Maya, RenderMan and ZBrush not being the only ones. I deal a lot with Mari, Nuke and others).
AI I try periodically, and it is amazing. But it still isn't sufficient for consistent, periodical and continuous projects, but rather for singular work - an image, a clip and so on. Not to mention the lack of control by the artist, which is a problem for a control freak like me.
But it's getting there.
As for helping me and, well, helping Paula, the best way I can think of is to spread the word, write reviews and so on.
Our project's biggest problem is that not many people know about it, and how amazing it is.
Well, I think it's amazing, at least...
